Children with TBI struggle with abstraction and more complex cognitive tasks even when other basic functions are comparable with uninjured children. 

Impaired Discourse Gist and Working Memory in Children after Brain Injury

Results of cerebral blood flow (CBF) voxel based comparison superimposed on T1 image. Bipolar disorder (BD) participants showed a CBF increase in left inferior frontal gyrus from T1 to T2 after cognitive training, p < 0.05 (FWE cluster corrected) and k ≥ 11,592 mm3.

Individuals with a TBI demonstrate changes in their brain's connections following a strategy-based cognitive training program called SMART™.
